Vintage drill press too fast?

We recently have obtained this vintage American drill press at my shop. It will primarily be used for cutting metal. It seems to be set to the slowest setting but seems entirely too fast to be cutting thick steel. How can i make it slower/ tips on restoration. Is there something obvious i am missing?
